21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people lest they break through the bounds to gaze upon the Lord, and many of them perish.
22 And also let the priests who come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves lest the Lord break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for thou hast charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount and sanctify it.
24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou and Aaron with thee, but let not the priests and the people break through the bounds to come up unto the Lord lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people and spoke unto them.
